Publication number: 20120233164Abstract: The present identifies collections of digital music and sound that effectively elicit particular emotional responses as a function of analytical features from the audio signal and information concerning the background and preferences of the subject. The invention can change emotional classifications along with variations in the audio signal over time. Interacting with a listener, the invention locates music with desired emotional characteristics from a central repository, assembles these into an effective and engaging “playlist” (sequence of songs), and plays the music files in the calculated order to the listener.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2009Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: Sourcetone, LLCInventors: Robert Rowe, Jeff Berger, Juan Bello

Publication number: 20070116331Abstract: Combined multispectral and total-internal-reflectance biometric imaging systems are disclosed. A platen has multiple facets, at least one of which has a surface adapted for placement of a purported skin site by an individual and another facet may include an optical absorber. An illumination source and an optical arrangement are disposed to illuminate the purported skin site with light from the illumination source along distinct illumination paths, including paths at angles less than the critical angle and paths at angles greater than the critical angle. Both multispectral and total-internal-reflectance illumination are received by an imaging system. The imaging system may include first and second imaging locations adapted to record images from separate illumination paths. The platen may also include non parallel exits facets.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2006Publication date: May 24, 2007Applicant: Lumidigm, Inc.Inventors: Robert Rowe, Ryan Martin
